The documentation apparently refers to an older branch of FreeBSD (4.x), and you're installing 5.x. Most people don't need to disable or change device settings in order to boot FreeBSD, but if you do, you can set the appropriate hint.* variable at the loader prompt when you boot for the first time, and then customize the settings permanently in /boot/device.hints.
